Renowned Japanese tea master Sen Genshitsu, who made a valuable contribution to the development of tea ceremony culture in Japan and overseas, died on Thursday. He was 102.
Sen was born in Kyoto as the eldest son of the 14th head of the Urasenke school of tea ceremony. He headed the school for nearly 40 years from 1964 to 2002. Urasenke is one of Japan's major schools for tea ceremony.
In 1997, Sen was awarded the Order of Culture for his contribution to the development of traditional tea ceremony.
Sen was also known for his efforts to promote tea ceremony culture overseas. He taught tea ceremony classes at universities abroad.
During World War Two, Sen served in an Imperial Japanese military unit which was involved in suicide attacks.
Based on that experience, Sen conducted tea ceremonies around the world for the rest of his life, even after he turned 100, in the hope of using the activity as a means to promote global peace.
According to the Urasenke school, Sen died on Thursday after a struggle with illness.

People in Japan are commemorating 80 years since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The city will honor the hundreds of thousands of victims in a ceremony on Saturday.
The proceedings will be held at the city's Peace Park. Survivors and family members are expected to be joined by representatives from 95 countries and regions.
During the event, an updated list of the atomic bomb victims will be placed at the memorial site. It will include the names of survivors who died or were confirmed dead in the past 12 months. The list now has 201,942 names.
At 11:02 a.m. the city will observe a moment of silence marking the exact time the bomb exploded on August 9, 1945.
Nagasaki Mayor Suzuki Shiro will then deliver a declaration of peace. He's expected to call for immediate ceasefires to conflicts around the world.
There are now fewer than 100,000 atomic bomb survivors, or hibakusha, still alive. Their average age is over 86. Every year, it becomes more difficult to hear from them directly.
Throughout the day, people in Nagasaki will reflect on the catastrophe and send the message that the atomic bombing that devastated the city should forever be the world's last.

Rank-and-file wrestler Kotoshoho won his first-ever title on Sunday at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament with 13 wins and two losses.
Kotoshoho was in the lead on Saturday, the 14th day of the 15-day tournament. Aonishiki and Kusano followed, each with three losses. All three wrestlers are from the Hiramaku group, the lowest of the five ranks in the top Makunouchi division.
On the final day, Kotoshoho faced off with Aonishiki. Kotoshoho thrust down his opponent to become the first Hiramaku wrestler to clinch a championship since last year's spring tournament.
Kotoshoho beat newly promoted Yokozuna Grand Champion Onosato on the 13th day, his first victory against a top-ranked wrestler. He maintained momentum after that, extending his winning streak to 10 days through the end of the tournament.
Yokozuna and other higher-ranking Ozeki wrestlers all dropped out of the title race after either pulling out of the tournament or performing poorly.

US President Donald Trump has disclosed letters showing new tariff rates to eight more countries, including Brazil.
Trump revealed the letters online on Wednesday.
They show that a rate of 50 percent will apply for Brazil; 30 percent for Algeria, Iraq, Libya and Sri Lanka; 25 percent for Brunei and Moldova; and 20 percent for the Philippines.
In April, the Trump administration announced rates of what it calls "reciprocal tariffs," covering countries and regions that have large trade surpluses with the US, along with other duties.
The administration later suspended the reciprocal tariffs and will start them on August 1. Trump is sending letters showing new duty rates to its trade partners.
Among the eight countries, Washington significantly raised the rate on Brazil from the 10 percent in April.
Trump told reporters at the White House, "Brazil, as an example, has not been good to us, not good at all."
In the letter to Brazil, Trump said he greatly respected former President Jair Bolsonaro, as did most other country leaders.
He added a trial against him "should not be taking place."
Editorial Note: An earlier version of this story said the wording in the letters sent by President Trump was the same except for the names of the countries and regions and tariff rates, but that was not the case after Brazil was added.
